Started by AHambleton on 10/21/2011 10:28am

I’d like to introduce you all to FacingDisability.com, a new resource for families suddenly facing spinal cord injuries, founded by the Hill Foundation of Chicago. It was created to connect families dealing with SCI with others like them, a place to share ideas and advice. FacingDisability.com also has more than 1,000 videos drawn from interviews of people with spinal cord injuries, their families, caregivers and experts on life after SCI.

It’s a first-of-its-kind Internet-based effort to collect life experiences surrounding spinal cord injuries and bring them to the world. It is the only place on the web where you can see and hear the most important answers to the questions everybody asks. Here are some examples of the answers you may be looking for…

If you are curious to see someone like you answering questions such as “What was your greatest fear at first?” or “How did you deal with the transition from hospital to home?” vistit FacingDisability.com to hear common questions on Life After SCI:http://www.facingdisability.com/spinal-cord-injury-videos/your-life-today .
